BOSTON - Stanford track & field crowned a pair of conference champions at the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Indoor Track & Field Championships over the weekend.
The Cardinal women finished fifth in the team standings with 47 points, while the men tallied 21 points over three days of competition, finishing in 12th place.
Alyssa Jones repeated as the ACC indoor high jump champion, clearing 1.86 meters to best the conference field. Jones followed that performance with a runner-up effort in the long jump (6.38m), falling just short in her pursuit of being just the second woman to win the high jump-long jump double in consecutive seasons.
Following the meet, Jones was awarded the ACC Women's Field MVP for the second consecutive season, becoming just the fifth woman in conference history to win the award multiple times.
Juliette Whittaker was victorious in the meet's most exciting finish, holding off Clemson's Gladys Chepngetich in the final 50 meters to win the 800m title, clocking a 2:01.84 in a photo finish. The win was the first ACC title of Whittaker's career, after the Olympian previously won the outdoor 800-meter crown at the Pac-12 Championships in 2023.
Alaysia Oakes rounded out the women's all-conference performers, earning All-ACC Second Team honors after a sixth-place finish in the triple jump with a 12.90m mark.
On the men's side, Leo Young captured All-ACC First Team honors with a bronze medal finish in the mile (3:59.98), while Xavier Drumgoole finished fourth in the triple jump with a 15.63m mark to be named to the All-ACC Second Team.
The Cardinal also turned in an all-conference relay performance, as Zane Bergen, Zachary Ryan, Toby Chippendale, and Young combined for a third-place finish in the Distance Medley Relay with a 9:36.50 time.
Stanford concludes the indoor season in two weeks, heading to Fayetteville, Ark., for the NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships on March 13-14.
